Anxious about Tasha: severe allergies (update post 16 with pic)

[Giselle]

OH poor Tasha! To be honest, those look something like bed bug bites to me. I don't know if bed bugs attack pups the way they do us, but is there any old furniture that might host infestation?

Maybe she's going through adolescence Just kidding. I really hope Tasha gets better quickly, and maybe you could do a skin prick test just to clear away the muck!

Looks like what Bobby had, as well. Related to the licking and scratching to do with the allergy. These photos are from back in Sept; this is all healed up now:




BTW, I was thinking about this last evening. If you really think this is due to the food switch, save the ingredients list from that food. Or look it up on line and print it out. (You want a hard copy, as they are always tinkering with the formulas, coming up with "new and improved" ones.)

You may never need it; or it may not be useful. But if you have it, you can look at; the first 3 ingredients (which make up most of the food), and at the list of preservatives and such (if any). It may give some indication what she is allergic TO. You may need this sometime in the future as a reference; then again, you may not. But what's one extra slip of paper in her file folder, right? Wouldn't hurt to also put in the same for the food which seems to be OK for her. You just never know what the pets are going to do to make us nuts in future! Just a thought, anyway.
